Coming Soon: Even Stronger Route Assignment Efficiency

A sneak peek into a feature improvement that will be rolling out in the coming days to make the route assignment process even better. This update will automatically sync contractor information between Reservations and Routes, helping you to streamline the dispatcher’s workflow and minimize manual steps.

What you can expect:

• Automatic Contractor Assignment: When assigning a route to a reservation with a contractor, the system will automatically update the same contractor back to the route. If the route already has a contractor, you will not be able to assign it to a reservation until it is recalled.

• Contractor Matching: The TMS will ensure that only contractors within the organization’s Connections can be assigned to a route.

Improved Support for Non-Latin Characters in User Names

Previously, some of our users with names that include characters outside the Latin alphabet (think Polish users, or anyone rocking an ñ!) were having trouble accepting the invite and logging into the TMS.

We’ve put in a fix to get those users logged in for now, but there’s still a bit of wrinkle. While you’re in, some of those special characters might be missing from logs (e.g. Order Events, Route Events).

We’re not happy about that, so here’s the plan:

For now: You’re good to go and can log in without a hitch!

Coming soon: We’re building a permanent solution that will handle all characters flawlessly across the platform. This will take a little more time to cook up but expect it later this year.

We’re very grateful for your patience while we work on a long-term solution. We’re committed to making Mover work for everyone, no matter how you spell your name!

Feature Update: Change to Cost Parameters in Vehicle Groups

We made a change to how cost parameters work in Vehicle Groups.

Previously, you could set the cost of a new route, or cost of distance driven to zero for a vehicle group. However, this caused Route Plannings to fail.

To prevent this from happening, we’ve updated the system so that you can no longer set any of the cost parameters to zero. If you try, you’ll get a friendly nudge to enter a positive value.
